What Causes Hypomenorrhea?
Question: My periods have become "not normal". It's practically just spotting, with one very heavy day of actual bleeding. So far three months in a row I thought i was pregnant, but test was negative. Do I need to be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Hormonal changes, infection or normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Scanty flow during the periods can be due to the hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, or due to infection like tuberculosis in the uterine lining.
However, sometimes as the age advances, the changes in the body leads to decreased blood flow in periods, and this is completely normal.
I will suggest you to get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
